Dear All, The Centre for Attention Studies at King’s College London invites you to an afternoon symposium on how we can attend to technology, cognitively and affectively, in the present moment of radical epistemic and social change. The symposium will examine various ways in which developments in machine learning, generative AI and biometrics are impacting human language, cognition, embodiment, as well as our living environments and political ecologies.
